We present a rare case of a 45-year-old woman with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome and eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE). She experienced cough, sputum, and dyspnea with a large right pleural effusion. Laboratory tests showed eosinophilia in the blood and pleural fluid. An ovarian tumor and ascites were also detected. After left salpingo-oophorectomy, the tumor was diagnosed as a mature cystic teratoma of the left ovary. The right-sided pleural effusion gradually resolved. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is characterized by benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion...

A 46-year-old woman presented at our hospital with anorexia, vomiting, and diarrhea. Blood tests indicated markedly increased eosinophil counts, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed slight erythema in the gastric body. Computed tomography showed edematous thickening of the stomach and small intestinal walls and peritonitis. Thus, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease was suspected. Endoscopic biopsies from the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum were collected, but no significant increases in eosinophil counts were observed...

Ascites appear as a clinical manifestation of various disorders, and the presence of raised levels of eosinophils in the peritoneal fluid characterizes eosinophilic ascites, which is an extremely rare disorder. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is one of the uncommon causes of ascites. If not investigated thoroughly, ascites recurrence in a young female with a history of tuberculosis may be wrongly attributed to tuberculosis recurrence in an endemic country. The etiology of ascites in our case was correctly identified as the subserosal form of eosinophilic ascites...

Eosinophilic enteritis is a rare subset of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. It typically presents with chronic symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and ascites. However, the clinical presentation can vary due to acute flare-ups. Here, we present a case of eosinophilic enteritis in a young female patient with intractable vomiting and diarrhea, mimicking acute gastroenteritis in the absence of other gastrointestinal symptoms. This case illustrates the challenge of diagnosing acute and diverse presentations of eosinophilic enteritis...

BACKGROUND: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is classified as primary, secondary or idiopathic. Idiopathic HES (IHES) has a variable clinical presentation and may involve multiple organs causing severe damage. Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is characterized by damage to the endothelial cells of the hepatic sinusoids of the hepatic venules, with occlusion of the hepatic venules, and hepatocyte necrosis. We report a case of IHES with HSOS of uncertain etiology. CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with pruritus and a rash on the extremities for > 5 mo...

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) vaccination is considered an important part in improving health outcomes globally. While various adverse events following vaccination against COVID-19 have been reported, eosinophilic diseases have rarely been documented in the literature and are poorly understood. Although vaccination is lauded as being "safe," it has become apparent that adverse reactions related to the vaccines can have detrimental health effects for certain individuals. We present a case of a death related to multiple severe preexisting comorbidities, complicated by new-onset gastrointestinal complaints which were temporally associated with recent COVID-19 vaccination and did not subside, but worsened prior to death...

Eosinophilic enteritis (EoN) is associated with an eosinophilic infiltrate confined to the small intestine, but treatment options other than diet and corticosteroid therapy are scarce. There is only one report of the use of dupilumab for eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, involving three pediatric patients. We report a case of successful induction of remission with dupilumab in a 53 year-old female patient with steroid-dependent EoN. The patient presented to the emergency room with uncontrollable abdominal pain and CT revealed a thickened ileal wall and small amount of ascites...

Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is an uncommon cause of acute cholecystitis; the clinical presentation is indistinguishable from other types of cholecystitis, and the diagnosis is made by histopathology study. We present the case of a 73-year-old male patient with right hypochondrial abdominal pain suggestive of symptomatic cholelithiasis. There were no significant findings at the blood workup or physical examination; he underwent a cholecystectomy and was later diagnosed with eosinophilic cholecystitis by histopathology...

INTRODUCTION: Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted formulations without proven clinical benefits, traditionally believed not to cause adverse events. Nonetheless, published literature reveals severe local and non-liver-related systemic side effects. We present the first series on homeopathy-related severe drug-induced liver injury (DILI) from a single center. METHODS: A retrospective review of records from January 2019 to February 2022 identified 9 patients with liver injury attributed to homeopathic formulations...

BACKGROUND: Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), a rare condition with excessive gastrointestinal protein loss, presents with hypoalbuminemia, edema, or ascites. Several cases of PLE combined with severe iron deficiency anemia (IDA) have been reported in infants and toddlers that were considered to result from excessive cow's milk consumption, although the mechanism has not been clearly established. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, laboratory, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics of patients diagnosed and treated for PLE with IDA between 2015 and 2021...

The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the role played by eosinophils in NaCl poisoning and right cardiac hypertrophy (ascitic syndrome) in Leghorn chickens, as well as the histological findings in the central nervous system (CNS), liver, and kidney. Moreover, the hypertrophy of the right ventricle index (HRVI) as an indicator of ascites was evaluated. Male SPF Leghorn birds at 28 days of age were submitted to two experiments. Food and water (FW) experiment: birds were treated with food plus 3.3% NaCl for the next 27 days and 1% NaCl in their drinking water from days 22 to 27...

A healthy 11-year-old girl presents with epigastric abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, and decreased appetite for 1 month. On physical examination, she appears ill, dehydrated, and cachectic. Her abdominal examination is significant for large ascites with a fluid wave and is nontender to palpation. Her labs show leukocytosis with an eosinophilic-predominant granulocytosis and an absolute eosinophil count of 6800/mm3 . She has elevated serum inflammatory markers, hypoalbuminemia, and lipase is 5000 U/L. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) shows an irregular and dilated pancreatic duct, so she had an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with pancreatic stent placement, paracentesis, and colonoscopy...

Circulating leukocytes are an important part of the immune system. The aim of this work is to explore the role of preoperative circulating leukocytes in serous ovarian carcinoma and investigate whether they can be used to predict survival prognosis. Routine blood test results and clinical information of patients with serous ovarian carcinoma were retrospectively collected. And to predict survival according to the blood routine test result the decision tree method was applied to build a machine learning model...
